Product Review

The Slash 4X4 begins with an innovative chassis incorporating a ribbed, triangulated structure that's optimized for extreme brushless power. Underneath, the chassis is smooth to reduce drag and prevent snags driving through brush. The high center ground clearance drastically increases the off-road versatility allowing you to tackle rougher terrain and obstacles. On the track, the center of gravity is just right. The Slash 4X4 feels planted to deliver the authentic Short Course handling. New Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) allows you to experience all the extreme power that was engineered into the Slash 4X4 by making it easier to control on slippery surfaces. The Velineon VXL-3s ESC works with the 3500 motor for extreme power and its brushless design reduces wear and friction. The VXL-3s offers 3 driving modes: Sport, Race, and Training Mode. Training Mode limits power to 50% to allow new drivers to gain experience. Velineon accepts standard 7-cell NiMH batteries up to 3s 11.1V LiPos (sold separately) with its integrated low-voltage protection. Waterproof electronics allow Slash the freedom to drive through water, mud and snow. The TQi 2.4GHz transmitter is fully adjustable and can be equipped with a Bluetooth module that turns your Android, iPad iPhone or iPod touch (sold separately) into a powerful tuning tool. Slash 4X4 allows you to choose the best battery and charger for your needs (sold separately). The innovative Slash battery tray accommodates 7-cell or 8-cell NiMH packs as well as 2s or 3s LiPo packs. Slash 4X4's highly efficient drivetrain spins effortlessly with an aluminum driveshaft and rubber-sealed ball bearings. The Modular design allows you to remove the entire front or rear section with just a few screws for easy maintenance. Slash 4X4's Race Replica bodies are fully decorated with licensed logos and graphics for total authenticity.
